Global Sessions & Kill Zones [jpkxyz]Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones Indicator Overview The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify and visualize the most critical time periods in the 24-hour forex and futures markets. This indicator combines traditional trading session analysis with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Kill Zone methodology, providing traders with a complete picture of when institutional activity and liquidity are at their peak. Trading Theory & Foundation Session-Based Trading The forex market operates 24 hours a day across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each session has distinct characteristics in terms of volatility, liquidity, and price behavior. Understanding these sessions is crucial because: Volatility Patterns: Each session exhibits unique volatility profiles based on which markets are open and which institutional players are active Liquidity Concentration: Major price movements tend to occur when multiple sessions overlap, as more market participants are active simultaneously Market Structure: Session highs and lows often act as key support and resistance levels that price respects throughout the trading day Time-Based Strategies: Many professional traders structure their strategies around specific sessions that align with their preferred instruments and trading style ICT Kill Zones The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology emphasizes specific time windows called "Kill Zones" - periods when institutional algorithms and smart money are most active. These time windows represent optimal trading opportunities because: Institutional Activity: Banks, hedge funds, and large institutions execute their orders during these predictable time windows Algorithmic Trading: Many institutional algorithms are programmed to operate during these specific periods Liquidity Sweeps: Kill Zones often feature stop hunts and liquidity grabs before directional moves Higher Probability Setups: Price is more likely to respect technical levels and follow through on setups during these periods The four ICT Kill Zones are: Asian Kill Zone (00:00-03:00 UTC): Early Asian session institutional activity London Kill Zone (07:00-10:00 UTC): London open and European institutional entry New York Kill Zone (12:00-14:00 UTC): New York open and North American institutional entry London Close Kill Zone (15:00-17:00 UTC): European session close and position squaring What This Indicator Visualizes Trading Session Boxes The indicator draws high-to-low range boxes for each major trading session: Sydney Session (21:00-06:00 UTC): Captures the Australian and early Asian trading activity Tokyo Session (00:00-09:00 UTC): Represents the main Asian trading period London Session (08:00-17:00 UTC): Covers the European trading hours New York Session (13:00-22:00 UTC): Encompasses North American trading activity Each session box displays: The session's high and low price levels Customizable colored borders and fills Labels showing the exact high and low values Real-time updates as price moves within the active session Session Overlaps The indicator automatically identifies and highlights all session overlaps with distinct colored boxes: Sydney/Tokyo Overlap: Asian liquidity concentration Tokyo/London Overlap: Asian-European transition period London/New York Overlap: The most volatile period with maximum liquidity Sydney/New York Overlap: Late US session into early Asian session These overlaps are crucial because they represent periods of increased liquidity when multiple major markets are operating simultaneously, often leading to significant price movements and breakouts. ICT Kill Zones Kill Zones are displayed as vertical background highlights that span the entire chart height during their active periods: Visual clarity: Semi-transparent colored backgrounds that don't obstruct price action Label identification: Each Kill Zone is labeled at its start for easy recognition Overlay capability: Kill Zones overlay on top of session boxes, allowing you to see both simultaneously Independent control: Each Kill Zone can be toggled on/off individually How Traders Can Use This Indicator Entry Timing Wait for Kill Zones: Use Kill Zones as your primary trading windows to increase the probability of institutional support for your trades Session Boundaries: Look for breakouts or reversals at session open/close times when new participants enter the market Overlap Periods: Focus on high-conviction setups during session overlaps when liquidity is highest Support & Resistance Session Highs/Lows: Previous session highs and lows often act as key support/resistance levels Sweep Setups: Watch for price to sweep session highs/lows during Kill Zones, then reverse (liquidity grab) Range Trading: Trade within session ranges during low-volatility periods, breakout during overlaps Risk Management Volatility Awareness: Adjust position sizing based on which session is active (London/NY overlap = highest volatility) Stop Placement: Position stops outside of key session levels to avoid being caught in normal intraday ranges Time-Based Exits: Consider exiting or tightening stops as sessions close and liquidity decreases Strategy Development Session-Specific Strategies: Develop different approaches for different sessions based on your instrument's behavior Kill Zone Confirmation: Require setups to occur within Kill Zones for higher probability trades Backtesting Framework: Use historical session and Kill Zone data to backtest time-based strategies Full Customizability Session Customization Every aspect of each trading session can be customized: Toggle Visibility: Show/hide any session independently Time Adjustment: Modify start and end hours to match your broker's server time or personal preference Color Schemes: Customize box colors and border colors for each session Transparency: Adjust fill transparency to see price action clearly while maintaining visual reference Kill Zone Customization Complete control over ICT Kill Zone display: Individual Toggles: Enable or disable each Kill Zone independently based on your trading style Color Selection: Choose distinct colors for each Kill Zone (default: Green, Blue, Yellow, Red) Transparency Control: All Kill Zones use 70% transparency by default, fully customizable Label Display: Toggle Kill Zone labels on/off via the main label settings Visual Preferences Border Control: Toggle session box borders on/off for cleaner charts Label Size: Choose from tiny, small, normal, large, huge, or auto-sizing for all labels Label Colors: Customize label background and text colors to match your chart theme Box Transparency: Set individual transparency levels for each session and overlap Overlap Customization All four session overlaps have independent color controls: Sydney/Tokyo Overlap Tokyo/London Overlap London/New York Overlap Sydney/New York Overlap Technical Features Midnight Handling The indicator uses advanced hour-based detection that seamlessly handles sessions crossing midnight (like Sydney's 21:00-06:00 UTC timeframe) without breaking the visualization into separate boxes. Real-Time Updates Active Sessions: Boxes extend and update in real-time as price moves during active sessions High/Low Tracking: Session highs and lows are continuously updated until the session closes Kill Zone Detection: Background colors appear/disappear precisely at Kill Zone boundaries Clean Chart Integration Minimal Clutter: Only shows active and recently completed sessions Overlay Friendly: Works seamlessly with other indicators and doesn't obstruct price action Performance Optimized: Efficient code that doesn't slow down chart rendering Ideal For Forex Traders: Track the four major forex sessions and plan trades around overlaps Futures Traders: Identify when specific futures markets have peak activity ICT Students: Implement Inner Circle Trader concepts with visual Kill Zone references Session Traders: Build strategies around specific session characteristics Scalpers & Day Traders: Focus on high-liquidity periods for tighter spreads and better fills Swing Traders: Use session levels as key support/resistance for multi-day trades Best Practices Start Simple: Enable only the sessions and Kill Zones relevant to your instruments Color Code Strategically: Use colors that stand out on your chart theme but don't overwhelm Combine with Price Action: Use session levels and Kill Zones as context, not as standalone signals Match Your Timezone: Adjust session times if your broker uses non-UTC server time Focus on Overlaps: Pay special attention to London/New York overlap for highest-probability setups Journal Performance: Track which sessions and Kill Zones work best for your strategy Conclusion The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator provides traders with institutional-grade time-based analysis in a highly customizable, visually clear format. By combining traditional session analysis with modern ICT Kill Zone theory, traders gain a comprehensive understanding of when markets are most likely to move and where key levels are established. Whether you're a scalper looking for the highest liquidity periods or a swing trader using session levels for support/resistance, this indicator adapts to your needs while keeping your charts clean and professional. Trade smarter by trading when the market is most active and predictable.

Quantura - Session High/LowIntroduction “Quantura – Session High/Low” is a professional-grade session mapping indicator that automatically identifies and visualizes the highs, lows, and ranges of key global trading sessions — London, New York, and Asia. It helps traders understand when and where liquidity tends to accumulate, allowing for better market structure analysis and session-based strategy alignment. Originality & Value This indicator unifies the three most influential global sessions into a single, adaptive visualization tool. Unlike typical session indicators, it dynamically updates live session highs and lows in real time while marking session boundaries and transitions. Its multi-session management system allows for immediate recognition of overlapping liquidity zones — a crucial feature for institutional and intraday traders. The value and originality come from: Real-time tracking of session highs, lows, and developing ranges. Simultaneous visualization of multiple global sessions. Optional vertical range lines for clearer visual segmentation. Customizable session times, colors, and time zone offset for global accuracy. Automatically extending and updating lines as each session progresses. Functionality & Core Logic Detects the start and end of each trading session (London, New York, Asia) using built-in time logic and user-defined UTC offsets. Initializes session-specific high and low variables at the start of each new session. Continuously updates session high/low levels as new candles form. Draws color-coded horizontal lines for each session’s high and low. Optionally adds vertical dotted lines to visually connect session range extremes. Locks each session’s range once it ends, preserving historical structure for review. Parameters & Customization New York Session: Enable/disable, customize time (default 15:30–21:30), and set color. London Session: Enable/disable, customize time (default 09:00–16:30), and set color. Asia Session: Enable/disable, customize time (default 02:30–08:00), and set color. Vertical Line: Toggle dotted vertical lines connecting session high and low levels. UTC Offset: Adjust session timing to align with your chart’s local time zone. Visualization & Display Each session is color-coded for quick identification (default: blue for London, red for New York, green for Asia). Horizontal lines track evolving session highs and lows in real time. Once a session closes, the lines remain fixed to mark historical range boundaries. Vertical dotted lines (optional) visually connect the session’s high and low for clarity. Supports full overlay display without interfering with other technical indicators. Use Cases Identify liquidity zones and range extremes formed during active trading sessions. Observe session overlaps (London–New York) to anticipate volatility spikes. Combine with volume or market structure tools for session-based confluence. Track how price interacts with prior session highs/lows to detect potential reversals. Analyze session-specific performance patterns for algorithmic or discretionary systems. Limitations & Recommendations The indicator is designed for intraday analysis and may not provide meaningful output on daily or higher timeframes. Adjust session times and UTC offset based on your broker’s or exchange’s timezone. Does not provide trading signals — it visualizes session structure only. Combine with liquidity and volatility indicators for full contextual understanding. Markets & Timeframes Compatible with all asset classes — including crypto, forex, indices, and commodities — and optimized for intraday timeframes (1m–4h). Particularly useful for traders analyzing session overlaps and volatility transitions. Author & Access Developed 100% by Quantura. Published as a Open-source script indicator. Access is free.

Market SessionsMarket Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific) Summary This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking. It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day. Who it’s for Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you. What it shows Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions. Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses. Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time. Key Features Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature. Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE"). Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on. Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off. Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually. Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high. Why this helps Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns. Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions. Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan. Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed. Quick setup Go to Timezone Settings. Decide how you want to enter times: Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times). Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin. Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes. Style the colors to match your chart theme.

DayFlow VWAP Relay Forex Majors StrategySummary in one paragraph DayFlow VWAP Relay is a day-trading strategy for major FX pairs on intraday timeframes, demonstrated on EURUSD 15 minutes. It waits for alignment between a daily anchored VWAP regime check, residual percentiles, and lower-timeframe micro flow before suggesting trades. The originality is the fusion of daily VWAP residual percentiles with a live micro-flow score from 1 minute data to switch between fade and breakout behavior inside the same session. Add it to a clean chart and use the markers and alerts. Scope and intent • Markets: Major FX pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD • Timeframes: One minute to one hour • Default demo in this publication: EURUSD on 15 minutes • Purpose: Reduce false starts by acting only when context, location and micro flow agree • Limits: This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only Originality and usefulness • Core novelty: Residual percentiles to daily anchored VWAP decide “balanced versus expanding day”. A separate 1 minute micro-flow score confirms direction, so the same model fades extremes in balance and rides range breaks in expansion • Failure modes addressed: Chop fakeouts and unconfirmed breakouts are filtered by the expansion gate and micro-flow threshold • Testability: Every input is exposed. Bands, background regime color, and markers show why a suggestion appears • Portable yardstick: Stops and targets are ATR multiples converted to ticks, which transfer across symbols • Open source status: No reused third-party code that requires attribution Method overview in plain language The day is anchored with a VWAP that updates from the daily session start. Price minus VWAP is the residual. Percentiles of that residual measured over a rolling window define location extremes for the current day. A regime score compares residual volatility to price volatility. When expansion is low, the day is treated as balanced and the model fades residual extremes if 1 minute micro flow points back to VWAP. When expansion is high, the model trades breakouts outside the VWAP bands if slope and micro flow agree with the move. Base measures • Range basis: True Range smoothed by ATR for stops and targets, length 14 • Return basis: Not required for signals; residuals are absolute price distance to VWAP Components • Daily Anchor VWAP Bands. VWAP with standard-deviation bands. Slope sign is used for trend confirmation on breakouts • Residual Percentiles. Rolling percentiles of close minus VWAP over Signal length. Identify location extremes inside the day • Expansion Ratio. Standard deviation of residuals divided by standard deviation of price over Signal length. Classifies balanced versus expanding day • Micro Flow. Net up minus down closes from 1 minute data across a short span, normalized to −1..+1. Confirms direction and avoids fades against pressure • Session Window optional. Restricts trading to your configured hours to avoid thin periods • Cooldown optional. Bars to wait after a position closes to prevent immediate re-entry Fusion rule Gating rather than weighting. First choose regime by Expansion Ratio versus the Expansion gate. Inside each regime all listed conditions must be true: location test plus micro-flow threshold plus session window plus cooldown. Breakouts also require VWAP slope alignment. Signal rule • Long suggestion on balanced day: residual at or below the lower percentile and micro flow positive above the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied • Short suggestion on balanced day: residual at or above the upper percentile and micro flow negative below the gate while inside session and cooldown is satisfied • Long suggestion on expanding day: close above the upper VWAP band, VWAP slope positive, micro flow positive, session and cooldown satisfied • Short suggestion on expanding day: close below the lower VWAP band, VWAP slope negative, micro flow negative, session and cooldown satisfied • Positions flip on opposite suggestions or exit by brackets What you will see on the chart • Markers on suggestion bars: L for long, S for short • Exit occurs on reverse signal or when a bracket order is filled • Reference lines: daily anchored VWAP with upper and lower bands • Optional background: teal for balanced day, orange for expanding day Inputs with guidance Setup • Signal length. Residual and regime window. Typical 40 to 100. Higher smooths, lower reacts faster Micro Flow • Micro TF. Lower timeframe used for micro flow, default 1 minute • Micro span bars. Count of lower-TF bars. Typical 5 to 20 • Micro flow gate 0..1. Minimum absolute flow. Raising it demands stronger confirmation and reduces trade count VWAP Bands • VWAP stdev multiplier. Band width. Typical 0.8 to 1.6. Wider bands reduce breakout frequency and increase fade distance • Expansion gate 0..3. Threshold to switch from fades to breakouts. Raising it favors fades, lowering it favors breakouts Sessions • Use session filter. Enable to trade only inside your window • Trade window UTC. Default 07:00 to 17:00 Risk • ATR length. Stop and target basis. Typical 10 to 21 • Stop ATR x. Initial stop distance in ATR multiples • Target ATR x. Profit target distance in ATR multiples • Cooldown bars after close. Wait bars before a new entry • Side. Both, long only, or short only View • Show VWAP and bands • Color bars by residual regime Properties visible in this publication • Initial capital 10000 • Base currency Default • request.security uses lookahead off everywhere • Strategy: Percent of equity with value 3. Pyramiding 0. Commission cash per order 0.0001 USD. Slippage 3 ticks. Process orders on close ON. Bar magnifier ON. Recalculate after order is filled OFF. Calc on every tick OFF. Using standard OHLC fills ON. Realism and responsible publication No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes. Fills and slippage vary by venue. Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close. Strategies must run on standard candles for signals and orders. Honest limitations and failure modes High impact news, session opens, and thin liquidity can invalidate assumptions. Very quiet days can reduce contrast between residuals and price volatility. Session windows use the chart exchange time. If both stop and target are touched within a single bar, TradingView’s standard OHLC price-movement model decides the outcome. Expect different behavior on illiquid pairs or during holidays. The model is sensitive to session definitions and feed time. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.

It helps traders spot potential liquidity grabs, reversals, and breakout zones by tracking price behavior around these key areas 🌟 Session Highs & Lows – Liquidity Zones 🌟 Session highs and lows often attract price due to stop orders resting above or below them. These levels are frequently targeted during high-volatility moves. 🔹 Asia Session - Usually ranges in low volatility. - Highs/lows often get swept during early London. - Price may raid these levels, then reverse. 🔹 London Session - First major volatility of the day. - Highs/lows often tested or swept in New York. - Commonly forms the day’s true high or low. 🌟 Opening Range Concepts 🌟 The Opening Range is the first 15, 30, or 60 minutes of a session (e.g., New York). The high (ORH) and low (ORL) define the market’s initial balance and key reaction levels. 🔹 Breakout Trade - Price breaks ORH/ORL with momentum. - Signals directional intent. - Traders enter on the breakout, with stops inside the range. 🔹 Liquidity Raid - Price briefly breaks ORH/ORL to trigger stops. - Reverses after the sweep. - Look for structure shift and entry near FVG or OB. 🌟 Customizable Settings 🌟 The indicator includes 3 configurable ranges , each with: Start & End Time – Set any custom time window. Display Type – Choose Box (highlight range) or Lines (mark high/low). Color Settings – Set custom colors for boxes and lines. 🌟 Default Settings 🌟 Range 1 : 19:00–00:00 (Asia Session) Range 2 : 01:45–05:15 (London Session) Range 3 : 09:30–10:00 (NY Opening Range – 30m)

KillZones & Sessions [TradingFinder] Volume | Asia, London & NY🔵 Introduction 🟣 Session The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only Saturdays and Sundays being off; traders often focus on one of the forex trading sessions instead of trying to trade in all markets 24 hours a day. Trading sessions are time intervals during which a specific financial market is active and trades are conducted. The Asia, London, and New York sessions are the most important trading sessions throughout the 24-hour period, during which a significant amount of money and liquidity enters the market. 🟣 Kill Zone Traders in financial markets profit from the difference between the price at which they buy or sell and the current market price. Traders have different time horizons for trading. Among these, some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading and must operate during times when the market has desirable trading volumes and significant price movements. Kill zones are segments of a session with higher trading volumes and price fluctuations compared to the rest of the session. 🔵 How to Use 🟣 Session Time The "Asia Session" consists of two sessions: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00 and ends at 06:00. Similarly, the beginning of the "Asia KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00, and it ends at 03:55. The "London Session" consists of two sessions: "Frankfurt" and "London." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 14:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "London KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 09:55. The beginning of the "New York am" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 19:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York am KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 16:55. The beginning of the "New York pm" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 22:55. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York pm KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 20:55. Important : To prevent session overlap, the working hours of each session have slightly changed. 🔵 Features 🟣 Simultaneous Session and Kill Zone With this indicator, you can simultaneously view the kill zone and session. High and low lines are used to indicate sessions, while filled areas with color represent kill zones. If you do not want to see kill zones, you can turn off the display settings. 🟣 Candle, Time, and Volume Using the "More Info" feature, you can see the number of candles, elapsed time, and traded volume within the colored filled area. 🔵 Settings •Show More Info: To display "More Info," you need to turn on this feature and turn it off whenever you don't need it. • You can also customize these settings for each session separately : o Display or hide session. o Choose session color. o Set session time range. o Display or hide kill zone. o Set kill zone time range.

Sessions Lite [TradingFinder] New York, London, Asia, NYSE Forex🔵 Introduction A trading session is one of the basic concepts in the financial market that refers to specific time periods. In fact, a session means hours during the day and night, during which traders in a certain part of the world conduct their transactions. Although the "Forex" and "CFDs" market is open 24 hours a day and it is possible to trade in it, but in some hours the activity in this market decreases so much that many traders prefer not to trade and only watch the market. On the other hand, there are specific times when the market is very busy and dynamic, and many traders tend to trade during these hours of the day and night. Trading sessions are usually divided into three main categories, which are "Asian", "European" and "North American" sessions. These trading sessions are also called the "Tokyo", "London" and "New York" sessions, respectively. But they also categorized these sessions in more detailed ways such as "Sydney session", "Shanghai session" or "NYSE session". 🔵 Tokyo trading session (Asian session) After the weekend that happens on Saturday and Sunday, the Forex market starts with the Asian session. In this continent, most of the transactions are done in the Tokyo session, and for this reason, it is usually called the Asian session or the Tokyo session. However, other countries such as Australia, China and Singapore also do a lot of trading in this session. The Tokyo session has a lower volume of transactions compared to the London and New York sessions, and therefore the liquidity is lower. In this session, most of the Forex currency pairs move in a price range. For this reason, different people use the ups and downs with the trading strategy in the range and get profit. The low liquidity of the Tokyo session means that trading spreads are also higher during these hours. Besides, most of the transactions of this session are done in the early hours and at the same time as the planned news release. In the Tokyo or Asia session, the best currency pairs to trade are the "Japanese yen", the "Australian dollar", and the "New Zealand dollar". "Nikkei" index is also a good option for trading. If you trade in the Tokyo session, you should also be aware of the release of economic news and data from Australian, New Zealand and Japanese financial institutions. 🔵 London trading session (European session) After the Asian session, it is time for the European session. In this period of time, transactions are very large and many European markets are involved. However, the European session is usually known as the London session. Because of its specific time zone, London is not only known as the Forex trading center in Europe, but it is also known as the Forex trading center in the world. The London session overlaps with two other major trading sessions in the world, Asia and America. This means that most of the Forex transactions are done in this session. According to the latest statistics, 32% of Forex transactions are related to the London session, which shows that about a third of the activity performed in Forex takes place during this period. This will increase the volume of Forex transactions and increase liquidity. An event that causes the spread of transactions to decrease. Of course, high liquidity also leads to greater volatility, which is desirable for many traders. In the European session, the pound and euro currencies and the "DAX", "FTSE100", and "CAC40" indices are known as the best tradable assets. Also, traders of this session should pay attention to the news and data published by the "European Central Bank" and the "Bank of England". The news of countries like Germany, France and Italy are also very important. 🔵 American trading session (New York session) When the New York session begins, several hours have passed since the end of the Tokyo session, but the European session is in the middle. In this session, they usually affect the financial activities carried out in America, but they also affect other countries such as Canada, Mexico and several South American countries. The "US dollar" and stock indices such as "S&P", "Dow Jones" and "Nasdaq" are the most important assets that are traded in this session. The early hours of the American session have a lot of liquidity and volatility due to the overlap with the European session, but with the end of the European session, the activity in the American session also decreases. You can trade all major Forex currency pairs in the New York trading session. In this session, the "Federal Reserve", as the most important central bank in the world, is the institution that you should pay attention to its news and data. The trading session indicator is an analytical tool in the financial markets that is used to display and analyze specific trading periods during a day. These indicators are generally useful for determining support and resistance levels during any trading session and for detecting different trading patterns. For example, usually these indicators display the open and close price levels, the highest and lowest prices during a trading session. Also, you may notice various price patterns such as price channels, price phase phases and market trend changes during different trading sessions using these indicators. 🔵 cause of construction In particular, the session light indicator version is designed and built for those traders who use many different tools on their chart at the same time. These traders can include "Volume Traders", "ICT traders", "Day Traders" and... These individuals can use "Session Lite" without disturbing the display of their other trading tools such as "Order Blocks", "Liquidity", "Zigzag", "FVG" etc. But in general, there are several reasons for making tools like trading session indicators in financial markets, some of which include the following : 1. Analysis of specific time frames : Some traders and investors like to consider specific time frames for price analysis and review. For example, analyzing price changes during each trading session can help analyze trading patterns and identify trading opportunities. 2. Recognize different price patterns : Different price patterns may be observed during trading sessions. Trading session indicators can help to make better trading decisions by analyzing these patterns and their strengths and weaknesses. 3. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : These tools may help to identify support and resistance levels during any trading session which can be helpful in deciding whether to enter or exit the market. 🔵 How to use The Session Lite indicator displays 8 sessions by default. Asia session, Sydney session, Tokyo session, Shanghai session, Europe session, London session, New York session and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session are the sessions that are displayed. You can activate or deactivate the display of each session by using the tick button next to the name of each session. Two gray vertical dashes are also displayed by default, which indicate the beginning of the European session and the New York session. This feature is available for all sessions, but it is enabled by default only for these two sessions, and you can activate it for the rest of the session. You can enable or disable the display of this line by using the Start Session tick key. Likewise, the information table is displayed by default, which includes the open or closed information of each session and the start and end times of each session. These timings are based on the UTC time zone. Accordingly, the schedule of trading sessions is as follows : Asia session from 23:00 to 06:00 Sydney session from 23:00 to 05:00 Tokyo session from 00:00 to 00:06 Shanghai session from 01:30 to 06:57 European session from 07:00 to 16:30 London session from 08:00 to 16:30 New York session from 13:00 to 22:00 New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session from 14:30 to T 22:00 Important note : the beginning of the European session coincides with the opening of the Frankfurt market. 🔵 Settings • In the settings section, there are customization capabilities according to the type of use of each user. The settings related to showing or not showing the box of each session, the start indicator of each session, setting the start and end time of the session and choosing the desired color to display each session are among the things that can be set from this section. • At the end of the settings, you will see the "Info Table" option; By disabling this option, the "sessions" clock table displayed on the upper right side will be disabled.

London BreakOut ClassicHey there, this is my first time publishing a strategy. The strategy is based on the London Breakout Idea, an incredibly popular concept with abundant information available online. Let me summarize the London Breakout Strategy in a nutshell: It involves identifying key price levels based on the Tokyo Session before the London Session starts. Typically, these key levels are the high and low of the previous Tokyo session. If a breakout occurs during the London session, you simply follow the trend. The purpose of this code After conducting my research, I came across numerous posts, videos, and articles discussing the London Breakout Strategy. I aimed to automatically test it myself to verify whether the claims made by these so-called trading gurus are accurate or not. Consequently, I wrote this script to gain an understanding of how this strategy would perform if I were to follow its basic settings blindly. Explanation of drawings on the chart: Red or Green Box: A box is drawn on our chart displaying the exact range of the Tokyo trading session. This box is colored red if the trend during the session was downward and green if it was upward. The box is always drawn between the high and the low between 0:00 AM and 7:00 AM UTC. You can change the settings via the Inputs "Session time Tokyo" & "Session time zone". Green Background: The green background represents the London trading session. My code allows us to make entries only during this time. If we haven't entered a trade, any pending orders are canceled. I've also programmed a timeout at 11 pm to ensure every trade is closed before the new Tokyo session begins. Red Line: The red line is automatically placed in the middle of our previous Tokyo range. This line acts as our stop loss. If we cross this line after entering a trade but before reaching our take profit, we'll be stopped out. When do we enter a trade? We wait for a candle body to close outside of the previous Tokyo range to enter a trade with the opening of the next candle. We only enter one trade per day. Where do we put our Take Profit? The code calculates the exact distance between our entry point and the stop loss. We are trading a risk-reward ratio of 1:1 by default, meaning our take profit is always the same number of pips away from our entry as the stop loss. The Stop Loss is always defined by the red line on the chart. You can change the risk-reward ratio via the inputs setting "CRV", to see how the result changes. What is the purpose of this script? I wanted to backtest the London breakout strategy to see how it actually works. Therefore, I wrote this code so that everybody can test it for themselves. You can change the settings and see how the result changes. Typically, you should test this strategy on forex markets and on either 1Min, 5 Min, or 15 Min timeframe. What are the results? Over the last 3-6 months (over 100 trades), trading the strategy with my default settings hasn't proven to be very successful. Consequently, I do not recommend trading this strategy blindly. The purpose of this code is to provide you with a foundation for the London Breakout Strategy, allowing you to modify and enhance it according to your preferences. If you're contemplating whether to give it a try, you can assess the results from the past months by using this code as a starting point.

New York, London and custom trading sessionsHi Traders The script : The Time sessions script plots the trading sessions of both New York and London markets (background fills), In addition to the above the script also plots a user defined trading session period (vertical lines). All plots may be toggled true or false inorder to ensure you can focus on the respective market / markets / custom session. Market sessions are useful for technical or quantitative analysis, as the majority of trading activity and net daily volume occurs in these zones, in fact the U.S./London market overlap tends to have the greatest volume accumulation across that range of time / bars than that range at any other time within the daily session. For FX traders it may also be important to take into account for many currency pairs the average exchange rate pip movement is greatest within these zones. The custom session, is intended to be used for traders who trade only within specific intervals within the market session or day for 24/7 traded asset classes Additional notes : Not as of now, I have only added three optional trading sessions. If you would like to change the sessions, copy the scripts code and change the "ctm_session" default time range value, insuring the second time value is 1 min > than the first. As always i Hope this is a useful script, and I will be updating this script in the near future.

Session candles & reversals / Flowly Indicators— Overview Like traditional candles, session based candles are a visualization of open, high, low and close values, but based on session time periods instead of typical timeframes such as daily or weekly. Session candles are formed by fetching price at session start (open), highest price during session (high), lowest price during session (low) and price at session end (close). On top of candles, session based moving average is formed and session reversals detected. Session reversals are also backtested, using win rate and magnitude metrics to better understand what to expect from session reversals and which ones have historically performed the best. By default, following session time periods are used: Session #1: London (08:00 - 17:00, UTC) Session #2: New York (13:00 - 22:00, UTC) Session #3: Sydney (21:00 - 06:00, UTC) Session #4: Tokyo (00:00 - 09:00, UTC) Session time periods can be changed via input menu. — Reversals Session reversals are patterns that show a rapid change in direction during session. These formations are more familiarly known as wicks or engulfing candles. Following criteria must be met to qualify as a session reversal: Wick up: Lower high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range (0% being the very low, 100% being the very high) and open >= 40% of session range. Wick down: Higher high, higher low, close <= 35% of session range and open <= 60% of session range. Engulfing up: Higher high, lower low, close >= 65% of session range. Engulfing down: Higher high, lower low, close <= 35% of session range. Session reversals are always based on prior corresponding session , e.g. to qualify as a NY session engulfing up, NY session must have a higher high and lower low relative to prior NY session , not just any session that has taken place in between. Session reversals should be viewed the same way wicks/engulfing formations are viewed on traditional timeframe based candles. Essentially, wick reversals (light green/red labels) tell you most of the motion during session was reversed. Engulfing reversals (dark green/red labels) on the other hand tell you all of the motion was reversed and new direction set. — Backtesting Session reversals are backtested using win rate and magnitude metrics. A session reversal is considered successful when next corresponding session closes higher/lower than session reversal close . Win rate is formed by dividing successful session reversal count with total reversal count, e.g. 5 successful reversals up / 10 reversals up total = 50% win rate. Win rate tells us what are the odds (historically) of session reversal producing a clean supporting move that was persistent enough to close that way too. When a session reversal is successful, its magnitude is measured using percentage increase/decrease from session reversal close to next corresponding session high/low . If NY session closes higher than prior NY session that was a reversal up, the percentage increase from prior session close (reversal close) to current session high is measured. If NY session closes lower than prior NY session that was a reversal down, the percentage decrease from prior session close to current session low is measured. Average magnitude is formed by dividing all percentage increases/decreases with total reversal count, e.g. 10 total reversals up with 1% increase each -> 10% net increase from all reversals -> 10% total increase / 10 total reversals up = 1% average magnitude. Magnitude metric supports win rate by indicating the depth of successful session reversal moves. To better understand the backtesting calculations and more importantly to verify their validity, backtesting visuals for each session can be plotted on the chart: All backtesting results are shown in the backtesting panel on top right corner, with highest win rates and magnitude metrics for both reversals up and down marked separately. Note that past performance is not a guarantee of future performance and session reversals as they are should not be viewed as a complete strategy for long/short plays. Always make sure reversal count is sufficient to draw reliable conclusions of performance. — Session moving average Users can form a session based moving average with their preferred smoothing method (SMA , EMA , HMA , WMA , RMA) and length, as well as choose which sessions to include in the moving average. For example, a moving average based on New York and Tokyo sessions can be formed, leaving London and Sydney completely out of the calculation. — Visuals By default, script hides your candles/bars, although in the case of candles borders will still be visible. Switching to bars/line will make your regular chart visuals 100% hidden. This setting can be turned off via input menu. As some sessions overlap, each session candle can be separately offsetted forward, clearing the overlaps. Users can also choose which session candles to show/hide. Session periods can be highlighted on the chart as a background color, applicable to only session candles that are activated. By default, session reversals are referred to as L (London), N (New York), S (Sydney) and T (Tokyo) in both reversal labels and backtesting table. By toggling on "Numerize sessions", these will be replaced with 1, 2, 3 and 4. This will be helpful when using a custom session that isn't any of the above. Visual settings example: Session candles are plotted in two formats, using boxes and lines as well as plotcandle() function. Session candles constructed using boxes and lines will be clear and much easier on the eyes, but will apply only to first 500 bars due to Tradingview related limitations. Rest of the session candles go back indefinitely, but won't be as clean: All colors can be customized via input menu. — Timeframe & session time period considerations As a rule of thumb, session candles should be used on timeframes at or below 1H, as higher timeframes might not match with session period start/end, leading to incorrect plots. Using 1 hour timeframe will bring optimal results as greatest amount historical data is available without sacrificing accuracy of OHLC values. If you are using a custom session that is not based on hourly period (e.g. 08:00 - 15:00 vs. 08.00 - 15.15) make sure you are using a timeframe that allows correct plots. Session time periods applied by default are rough estimates and might be out of bounds on some charts, like NYSE listed equities. This is rarely a problem on assets that have extensive trading hours, like futures or cryptocurrency. If a session is out of bounds (asset isn't traded during the set session time period) the script won't plot given session candle and its backtesting metrics will be NA. This can be fixed by changing the session time periods to match with given asset trading hours, although you will have to consider whether or not this defeats the purpose of having candles based on sessions. — Practical guide Whether based on traditional timeframes or sessions, reversals should always be considered as only one piece of evidence of price turning. Never react to them without considering other factors that might support the thesis, such as levels and multi-timeframe analysis. In short, same basic charting principles apply with session candles that apply with normal candles. Use discretion. Example #1 : Focusing efforts on session reversals at distinct support/resistance levels A reversal against a level holds more value than a reversal by itself, as you know it's a placement where liquidity can be expected. A reversal serves as a confirming reaction for this expectation. Example #2 : Focusing efforts on highest performing reversals and avoiding poorly performing ones As you have data backed evidence of session reversal performance, it makes sense to focus your efforts on the ones that perform best. If some session reversal is clearly performing poorly, you would want to avoid it, since there's nothing backing up its validity. Example #3 : Reversal clusters Two is better than one, three is better than two and so on. If there are rapid changes in direction within multiple sessions consecutively, there's heavier evidence of a dynamic shift in price. In such case, it makes sense to hold more confidence in price halting/turning.

Market Trading Sessions (TG Fork)Visualize trading sessions opening hours of several international exchanges on a grid. Contrary to other indicators, this one automatically aligns the session with the current chart's timezone. This is helpful for bar replay or manual backtesting, to spot patterns of correlations (this can also be used in conjunction with correlation indicators, see my other indicators). Original indicator by Gunzo, if you like this indicator, please show the original author some love: This indicator is also inspired by the following indicators: ZenAndTheArtOfTrading with UnknownUnicorn468659 with This fork implements the following features: Converted to PineScript v5. Adapted default color palette to dark mode, as is the default in TradingView now. Fix drawing issues, now the design shows as it was originally meant to be. Fixed mistiming issue that made some sessions display with a delay compared to the real session, especially the first session was bar at the start of the session was not displayed. Inputted the accurate timings for each session, instead of the default 0800-1600 in the original indicator. Essentially, you can just add this indicator and it should work out of the box. If not, please let me know, and I'll try to fix it!
